Brimming with great new songs that tell quintessentially Australian stories, Our Backyard is the first dedicated collaboration for these amazing entertainers.
From the title track to ‘Millionaire’ and ‘Drink’, the music and lyrics reflect the true Australian experience across life, love and friendship.
With both coming off solo album releases, Amber and Travis decided that now was the best time to combine their talents and dedicate their efforts to creating a genuinely enjoyable album.
“At the moment our careers are both going well and having some down time in between our next solo albums we thought it was time to have a little fun and throw caution to the wind”, says Amber.
Friends since 2004 when they bonded over being the only Sydneysiders at the College of Country Music, Amber and Travis wanted to create music that was more than simple duets but a true collaboration containing the essence of both artists; two distinct voices coming together.
Our Backyard is the incredible result with honest, authentic lyrics and catchy, at times haunting music.
We thought it was time to have a little fun and throw caution to the wind.
- Amber Lawrence
Known as a relentlessly hardworking performer, Amber has been on the road promoting her fifth studio album Happy Ever After released in September 2016.
Her three singles ‘Happy Ever After’, ‘Cheers to the Girls’ and ‘The Lucky One’ were snapped up by country radio hitting the top chart radio and video playlists.
Travis Collins, a mainstay in the Australian music landscape, has cemented his footprint as one of Australia’s best-loved country music artists.
As well-known for his masterful guitar playing and powerhouse vocals as he is for his depth of song-writing and high energy live performances, Travis continues to go from strength to strength with his most recent album Hard Light producing three number one songs and charting in the ARIA top 20 all-genre charts.
Our Backyard combines the talents and experiences of two great artists to create an Australian narrative familiar to us all.
With Amber’s unabashed sentimental vocals and Travis’ true country rock sound Our Backyard captures a sentiment surrounding our relationships and our culture that is guaranteed to resonate with audiences.
Amber Lawrence and Travis Collins will be performing at Club Sapphire, Merimbula on Saturday August 5. Phone the club on 64951306 for ticket details.
